Jesus is Condemned to Death


 As most of you know I love the Stations of the Cross. St. Michael has a very lovely set. The wood framing is rich in tone and texture.

Sometimes it's the simple things that catch my eye. I found this shot while I was sitting down swapping out lenses.

Simon of Cyrene carries the cross



This is Station 5 of the Way of the Cross.  I just love the facial expressions. The detail in this set of Stations is amazing.

Pews 67 and 3


I found these two pews in the original part of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, just begging me to take their picture.

I tried to make and give this Nativity scene a Postcard look and feel.

Mary and Christmas Ornament


This is just another variant of the original picture. I was striving for a black and white image but liked these muted colors better. I also wanted to try my luck at adding an imposed image on the large Christmas ornament.

Mary and Wreath



I have featured this grouping before, but I like this shot the best so far.

Iron Cross


I've taken and posted this shot before. On this trip I decided to try some post manipulation.
